Deadline to
Register: Wednesday, February 15, 2017
Please note the LOCATION CHANGE for the February Health Law CLE at Winthrop & Weinstine,
P.A. (Downtown Minneapolis).
Lunch and registration will start at 11:30 a.m. The
CLE program will start
at 12 noon.
Any time a health care organization structures a contract
involving physicians, it must be aware of the federal laws that are unique to
the healthcare industry (e.g., the Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, Civil
Monetary Penalties Law, False Claims Act, etc.). These laws affect any
contract with physicians who are in a position to refer, including employment or
service contracts, group compensation structures, joint ventures, leases for
space or equipment, free or discounted items or services and virtually any other
exchange of remuneration.
This session will include a “Contracting Toolkit” of best
practices that health care organizations can follow to avoid compliance traps
related to the technical requirements for payments to physicians and the Three
Key Tenets of Defensibility: fair market value, commercial reasonableness, and
not taking into account volume or value of referrals. The session will
also recap trends in government and whistleblower
enforcement.
Areas Covered in the Session:
• Summarize the
enforcement trends and the “Three Key Tenets of
Defensibility.”
• Provide a focused review of the technical
requirements of the health care laws.
• Describe emerging
physician contracting compliance traps.
• Discuss the
“Provider Contracting Toolkit” and best practices for enhancing
defensibility.
